Why Your UEBA Isn't Working (and How to Fix It)

User Entity Behavior Analysis (UEBA) is a security layer that uses machine learning and analytics to detect threats by analyzing patterns in user and entity behavior. Here’s an oversimplified example of UEBA: suppose you live in Chicago. You’ve lived there for several years and rarely travel. But suddenly there’s a charge to your credit card from a restaurant in Italy. Someone is using your card to pay for their lasagna! Luckily, your credit card company recognizes the behavior as suspicious, flags the transaction, and stops it from settling. This is easy for your credit card company to flag: they have plenty of historical information on your habits and have created a set of logical rules and analytics for when to flag your transactions.
